    thought i'd do some news posting, this was probably here already but:

    U.S. threatens African nations with secondary sanctions.

    On her Africa tour, Yellen threatened African nations with sanctions if they do business with Russia over anything on the sanctions list. She said:

    Violation of those sanctions by local businesses or by governments—we would respond to quickly and harshly and we certainly urge that there be compliance with those sanctions. That’s the discussion I’ve had here” This follows previous threats from the US ambassador to the UN on her Africa tour, where she relayed the message that while African nations may be permitted by the US to buy food products from Russia, under no circumstances should they buy Russian oil or energy, lest they too be subjected to sanctions.
